I visited the RHS garden at Wisley once when they had assembled a few
hundred samples of what nurseries were selling as "Shrub famous
name". I can't remember what it was, but it was one of the
landscaping classics, grown by the million.

It was startling to see the variations. The idea was to sort out
which were correctly named and get the wrong ones renamed, I think.

It would be an interesting exercise for one of the AIS test gardens to
do. Or perhaps one of the conventions could have half the host plants
new ones, and half whichever old one needs to prove itself true.
